Let's be honest. The pandemic was hard on us for a wide variety of reasons... and one way its impact is showing on us now?

You guessed it. Our weight.

More than 61% of Americans confirmed they dealt with weight gain since the pandemic lockdowns began more than a year ago in March 2020.

It seems that includes celebrities like the much-loved Will Smith of Men In Black, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and I, Robot.

But true to Smith's personality, he's chosen to face his new body with humor rather than resentment.

On Instagram this week, Smith shared a simple post that received ample praise for its honesty.

In the image, Smith was wearing an unzipped jacket, shorts and house slippers. Obvious in the picture, as well, is the less-defined physique of an actor who is well-known for intense physical training in his films, as well as performing his own stunts.

Smith wrote:

"I'm gonna be real with y'all. I'm in the worst shape of my life."

Some deeply related to the image, especially after the past year.

Social media works hard to be a bright and shiny object, where we're supposed to brag about our proudest, most positive moments. It often objects to or ignores our darker moments of struggle or moments when we may feel "less than," like when we put on a few pounds.

And this is especially true for celebrities. We're shown airbrushed and professionally styled icons and we're trained to think they can do no wrong and experience no struggles.

They are meant to be, in a word, perfect.

But Smith just did a solid for his followers. In one post, he communicated if a celebrity can be honest and gain weight during a thing as momentous as a pandemic, then his followers could, too.

And the best part? They could even take a moment to laugh about it, in a positive light.

Fox News Ripped After Blaming Talarico For Not Trying To Stop MAGA Conspiracy Theory About Him

Fox News sparked eyerolls from critics after attempting to blame Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico for not trying to shut down a viral MAGA conspiracy theory that he'd had a mental health episode and was admitted to a facility.

Talarico returned to the campaign trail after taking nine days off to recover from the flu. During his absence, conservative commentators circulated an unsubstantiated claim that he had experienced a mental health crisis and traveled to the Lindner Center of Hope in Cincinnati, Ohio, for treatment.

Samuel L. Jackson Roasts Red Carpet Reporter To Shreds After She Tries To Do Impression Of Him

Samuel L. Jackson is one of those actors that people just love to impersonate. He's had so many memorable roles with countless quotable lines, and his personality is nothing short of fascinating.

But people who attempt to impersonate him always get some aspect of the impression wrong, whether it's the volume, the enunciation, the intonation, or just the overall demeanor. Even Jamie Foxx, who's an impressive impersonator of a wide range of stars, has not impressed Jackson with his impersonation of him.
